The sweetest song I ever heard Was not the song of morning bird Nor, from lofty choirs high That pelted notes into the sky Or from loud triumphant bands Where instruments rung in the stands No, the sweetest song I ever heard Came simply in a spoken word That fell upon my waiting ears And touched my heart for many years |

This one gets my vote! Wonderful. Every heart has hidden treasures...a secret wish, a silent dream, and a cherished love. [Unknown] |

Well Ruthie, I heard those a few times, and they didn't mean much - but to those that it did, this is a poem for them. I absolutely love your rhyme devine, and the pretty little pictures that flitter through my mind as I read your work, this one no exception. (p.s. nice talking with you - we will do that again) |

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ruth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sincerity does make the difference between cacophony and choir, doesn't it? *S* I like this very much, Hoot! *S* And I'm so glad that song found your ears. *S* |

A song for the merits of simple communication. Your words touch deeply and true. There is no doubt that a spoken word of love and support can stay and sustain for a long time to come. Enjoyed. |

I agree and some of the sweetest songs that I've ever heard are not spoken at all but found right here on these wonderful blue pages that radiate as they touch my spirit and my heart with their warmth and beauty. Words like these words that you've written are so incredible and lasting in their content... Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and your words. -Bob |

Very true. The reason I write poetry is because poetry is such a heart-touching, expressive way of sharing your heart. And poetry can be the word "That fell upon my waiting ears And touched my heart for many years" Blessings, El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
